I just got my flashpaq and have only done one longer trip with it on tow/perf and it raised my mpg by 3-4 miles. I just downloaded the mileage tune but haven't had a chance to try it out.

Mine didn't when I got it but went on superchips website to get the latest downloads for data logging and they had the tune from the Mileage XS (or whatever its called) for a free dowload also.

Put it on the highest setting and be easy on the skinny pedal and you will see you best mileage.

I agree with meyerperformance! Usually the higher the setting the better fuel mileage you get. Just be easy downshifting on the highway so you dont limp it.
